A4

I am located near Deale Maryland south of Annapolis. I have a substantial inventory of new and used parts for the A4 I accumulated before I swapped out with electric drive. The engine was running perfectly but has been sitting for 2 years now. I really need to take a look at it and insure everything is in good condition. It spent 1 year in the bay and prior to that was used in fresh water on Lake Champlain. I swapped it out when my transmission cable broke while trying to pull into a slip. Also have the old gas tank for T30 in good condition for starboard galley configurations. Contact me back channel for more. wsteeves@neurotag.com

I never did sell my a4. Was going to take apart and sell as parts but never got around to it. Been sitting in my garage for 2 years now

Where are you located wsteeves?

LonABishop, that post was two years ago, I'm guessing the A4 is gone.

Hi WSTEEVES, my name is Pater,ad I'm interested in your A4, the one in my Irwin 28 has a rusted through waterjacket which I discovered after doing a valve job, carb rebuild and new water pump and exhaust system. Please Email me or call 631-265-0719. Thanx

A buddy of mine just replace his good running A4 with a Yanmar diesel . The A4 was rebuilt 5 yrs. ago and had electronic ignition installed. Probably has about 700 hrs. or so on it. I would bet he is willing to let it go cheap,cheap just to get it out of his garage. Guessing around $500, location FL.
Bill,

These are the easiest engines to work, diagnose, service and operate. Any mechanic worth his/her salt can work on them. I just removed an Atomic 4 from my Tartan 30 and will be selling it. It has all brand new components mostly from Moyer including upgrades to electronic ignition. I have converted to electric. When I bought this boat a few years back it had a frozen engine block in it. I removed that and gave it to Don Moyer, acquired this one from a guy who sailed it on Lake Champlain for many years. I've run it for a couple seasons now without any issues. Installed it myself with one helper in 1/2 day.
